WOOOOOO! Finally, that jerk Germania is out of here. What a loser! All that talk about "honor" and protecting his family and the guy goes and gets himself droned like that. How like a filthy barbarian, am I right? Hohohoho

Well...I kinda sleep a lot...but people do start a lot of wars where I'm from. Countries just can't seem to get along for some reason...and humans can be kind of dumb.

I think a lot of people worship the Christian God now...the Abrahamic Faiths are the primary religions in the world.

Uh...but I'm kind of different from everyone else.

Oh! And breakfast is really good food! I like eating that a lot.

[when_in_me]

Ho ho, Christianity, me too! I used to worship a whole bunch of other gods, but the Christian God and me are pretty tight now.

Breakfast is awesome!

[makemebreakfast]

Pretty...tight? I don't...get what that means.

And breakfast IS awesome! I'd eat it all the time if I could! Shiki makes it perfect too.

[when_in_me]

Oh. I live in Heaven. It's pretty awesome!

Do you like bacon? It's a new thing I discovered here in Mayfield. Bacon is so great.

[makemebreakfast]

You actually...live in heaven?

You're dead?

Bacon is really good! Western breakfast is my favorite! I could eat bacon ALL THE TIME!

And toast! It's just cooked bread...but it's good! I don't even know why...but I love it.

[when_in_me]

What part of the "spooky ghost" thing did you not understand, woman?

Bread is great, too! I used to pose as a poor person so I could get extra bread back when I was alive. They really hated that!

[makemebreakfast]

Well I thought you were just kidding! Wait...aren't you one of those country people? I thought you all didn't die.

And that sounds pretty funny! I never did anything silly for food, because I never really needed it...but Shiki once threatened that he would never make me breakfast again if I didn't do something. It was really mean!

[when_in_me]

Ha! Is that what those little runts told you? I'm sure those knuckleheads would like to live forever, but nah, we can die. And be killed, too. We're countries, not gods.

What a jerk! What was he trying to get you to do?

[makemebreakfast]

You're probably the most interesting country-person I've ever met...but how does a country die? From stuff like war?

And yea, he is a jerk. He wanted me to come to the park and meet with him and some stupid woman that was hanging around him too much. She got herself turned and was trying to use me as some science experiment to cure it!

[when_in_me]

War, starvation, old age... Plenty of ways to bring a nation to its knees.

"Turned"? You mean droned?

[makemebreakfast]

Ohh...that's a neat metaphor for the things that can happen to a Nation.

Oh...uh...no. I mean turned to a Vampire. Well, not completely...I guess I have to give her the fact that she's pretty strong.

[when_in_me]

Metaphor? Oh. Yeah!

Vampires? Do those really exist?

[makemebreakfast]

Yep, they do.

I guess in my world though. I met another vampire...so I guess they exist in other worlds too.

I don't really know about yours, though.

[when_in_me]

Demons and monsters and stuff like that don't exist where I'm from, nope! Ghosts do, though. I would know, being one and all.

[makemebreakfast]

Really?

Wow...the thought of that just seems...weird. I don't even know how a place could not have those things.

[It seems as if it JUST clicked for her.]

Wait...you said you were Rome, right?

[when_in_me]

The one and only!
